Thrombosis prophylaxis is a preventive action taken to reduce the risk of blood clots forming inside blood vessels. This is especially important in hospitalized patients or those at high risk because of surgery or medical conditions. These actions may include medications like blood thinners or compression stockings to improve circulation. Thrombosis prophylaxis tries to prevent serious complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE), which can happen when blood clots detach and travel to the lungs or other organs, potentially causing severe health issues.
